BRIKS X Stories Across Borders
Exclusive Keynote

BRIKS invites you to an exclusive and inspiring evening with Johan Heirbrandt, Co-Founder & Partner at Integra Fund — and one of Belgium’s most experienced voices in private equity and entrepreneurship.

This event is invite-only, creating the perfect mix between insight and informality. Expect sharp ideas, genuine reflections, and good conversations — all over drinks and snacks.

During this keynote, Johan will take us on a journey through the key decisions that shaped his career and the lessons learned along the way. He’ll share how he built Integra Fund into a distinct player in the Belgian PE landscape, navigating challenges like limited deal flow and fierce competition, while keeping an eye on innovation and international collaboration.

But this evening is about more than just business — it’s about mindset. Johan will reflect on the risks, doubts, and insights that defined his path, offer an inside look at Belgium’s private equity market, and share his thoughts on where the industry is headed. For students and young professionals, his advice promises to blend practical wisdom with a dose of inspiration.

After the talk, we’ll open the floor for an interactive Q&A, followed by a relaxed networking moment with drinks and snacks — the perfect setting to connect with fellow students in an informal atmosphere.
